Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures men laboring on a crowded boat in Calcutta, India. Shirtless men in blue trousers and white hats work under the hot sun, using hand tools to cut wood on a makeshift platform. The scene is bustling with activity, showing passengers and goods aboard a large river vessel, with smaller boats navigating the water nearby. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, color shifts, and a handheld perspective, offering a raw glimpse into daily life and labor in mid-century India.
